Comments will randomly not display.


Recommended Posts

Regardless of browser, or device, the comments have a 1/20 chance of not displaying if you scroll down, forcing a reload of the webpage, or clicking the comment count button at the top of the page (which is usually faster to reload than to scroll all the way back up.

 

Here's an IRC LOG of me discussing it with Timan


 
SierraSonic|AHA
when is the mobile page going to be fixed
~Timan
what about it specifically did u want, cause that doesn't take much css to do
 
SierraSonic|AHA what
 
unless its some dumb wp issue :p mobile should be fine
SierraSonic|AHA
well remember how people complained the menu wasnt accessable?
 
then it was fixed?
 
well the menu is accessable
 
but it pops up on load
~Timan
weird
SierraSonic|AHA
yup
 
also
~Timan
well i can't help it if you got a ###### device/browser, it doesn't do that on mine :p
SierraSonic|AHA
can we please get a button for comments?
~Timan
thats as far as I can test
 
there is
SierraSonic|AHA
i have literally scrolled down for like 15 seconds and still didnt get it to pop up
~Timan
look at ss :p tap that
 
then if u wanna add one, tap Add comment :p
SierraSonic|AHA
can you move that to near the add comment button?
~Timan
move what
SierraSonic|AHA
the count
 
to show the comments
~Timan
i'm confused
 
comment count + button
SierraSonic|AHA
yes
 
what more do you need :p
SierraSonic|AHA
move that to the bottom of the page, near the text, add a comment
 
:p
~Timan
why
 
it has the # lol
SierraSonic|AHA
so when it fails to load i dont have to scroll up
~Timan
i'm confused
SierraSonic|AHA
howso?
~Timan
what possible reason is that button needed down there
SierraSonic|AHA
sometimes the auto loading comments fails
~Timan
if you're where the comment links to
 
and it has the comment count
SierraSonic|AHA
so you want me to scroll all the way up because the site failed?
 
nonono
 
it should be near the failure point
~Timan
no clue what you're talkign about now lol, whats the failure point
SierraSonic|AHA
the comments "auto show" when you scroll down far enough
 
correct?
 
this action fails sometimes
~Timan
honestly no clue :p
 
was added after launch
SierraSonic|AHA
yea id prefer they were jsut displayed
~Timan
ya we're not doing comments inline
 
seo/spam/loading reason
 
s
SierraSonic|AHA
makes sense
~Timan
sounds like u have a ###### phone
SierraSonic|AHA
well it happens on a lot of mobile devices
 
ive seen it happen on my friends s5, and other peoples 5s'
~Timan
prob loads, just being on a mobile network + waiting for the touch event to end
SierraSonic|AHA
whatever the reason, it fails sometimes
~Timan
ah feature I guess :p comments are the devil
SierraSonic|AHA
and since clicking that comment count button seems to force it to load
~Timan
I have no control over that portion of the site,
SierraSonic|AHA
it would be nice to have it next to the add a comment text instead of having to scroll all the way back up
 
0.o
 
how?
~Timan
nah not adding a button there when the same content is in that area
 
how what
SierraSonic|AHA
how do you not have access to the website
 
:p
 
0.o
~Timan
i have access to the site, I don't control the functionality of the comments being ajax'd in
? wctw has joined
SierraSonic|AHA
then add a different button, or text link to force the comments to load "click here if comments failed to load" lots of websites have this feature
~Timan
no
SierraSonic|AHA
it would be the opposite, that link shows if the comments arent loaded, and is hidden when they are
 
;o
~Timan
not the answer u wanna hear, but wait for wp10 hope it fixes it
 
get get a modern device
SierraSonic|AHA
wp10 doesnt fixed ios8 or 5.1 android
 
so....
 
yea
~Timan
works fine on ios8 just tried
SierraSonic|AHA
well yea
 
its random
 
but enough to ###### me off sicne i view neowin mainly on mobile

SierraSonic|AHA

~Timan

~Timan
tbh
 
neowin needs to move to slack, right Kudos

SierraSonic|AHA
